📚 700 Senses of Summer – Maggie Gates🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 | 🌶️🌶️🌶️/5Right from the jump, this book stole a piece of my heart.
Aurora is relatable on so many levels for me, and the story became so personal to me.Maggie always knows how to write engaging, comedic, and quirky moments that’ll have you laughing for days. The pining between these two had me salivating with every page turn 🤤. I really couldn't get enough, and then she threw in a “fuck it” moment and I was DONE 🫣.I love an overprotective man trying to process his trauma and protect everyone around him. He’s the blueprint. The perfect book boyfriend.AND HERE I WAS THINKING MILES WAS IT FOR ME. 🤭
The next MMC is gonna wipe the floor with me, isn’t he?? 🤣🫣Also Jack’s dirty -talk in this book was top tier. Jack had me blushing the whole damn time 🤭🥵Tropes:

✈️ Capri – Indy Valentine🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 | 🌶️🌶️🌶️/5This one hurt. There were a lot of parts in this book where I recognized a younger version of myself in Capri. This was so relatable that I am so speechless. 🤭There were so many elements of this story I loved. Jones having to take care of a family member and Capri rebounding after a painful divorce. This was the perfect storm for a summer romance that turned into a love of a lifetime.
I think this may be one of my favorite summer reads this year.
Also Jones’s dirty mouth had me blushing, and cheering for Capri to own her bad bitch energy after that divorce. Girl deserved it.I am also looking forward to a Collie story. I hope we get that one next summer. 🤞🏻Tropes:

🏒 Playboy – Brittanee Nicole🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 | 🌶️🌶️🌶️/5
This book had me laughing in the first 5 minutes. I love these side characters so much.I laughed so hard during the entire book. This was so genuinely funny. I always love men in groups making funny choices together, and hyping each other up. The pie scene is pure gold, and so is the brother. I have never laughed harder. Thank you for that. 🙏🙏Now DANIEL is the example of a man obsessed. I cannot wait to re-read this via audio. This book is my favorite in the series so far, and I really thought nothing would beat trouble. Daniel is very charming, and helplessly obsessed. I was putty in his hands. I cannot wait for what the rest of the series has in store for me. I loved Hannah too, especially her black cat energy. It reminds me so much of myself. Thank you form the bottom of my heart for making this have so many layers.

⏪ Rewind It Back – Liz Tomforde🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 | 🌶️🌶️/5
This book is like walking into the mountains after years of not being there, just to feel that cool air in my lungs and be reminded how I alive I truly am.Even though I knew I would love this book because I love everything Liz writes, I had no idea that this would be tattooed on my heart forever. I knew Rio book would be an emotional rollercoaster, even knowing this Liz swept me away with this story. The depth, longing, pinning, this story would entail had my heart squeezing with every page.Rio and Hallie’s fiesty dynamic in the beginning was so perfect. Rio being a cocky-lover boy had me literally screaming 🤭Being this a second chance I had no idea what the reason behind their breakup when they were young was going to be. Liz did a phenomenal job at making this the perfect plot. I really didn’t see the twists coming.Every little emotion and detail I thought was minor, turned into pieces of a puzzle. 🧩 Liz you truly seem to amaze me, and I cannot wait to see what is in store for you in the future.I am forever going to be obsessed with this story.Also the secret tattoo had me melting to the floor. 🫠Tropes:

💔 Unloved – Peyton Corinne🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 | 🌶️🌶️/5
This book was like a dagger directly to my heart, but one I intentionally ran into with no thought of stopping.Ro’s and Matt’s personal struggles and insecurities were so raw. Watching Ro navigate developing/understanding her worth was so heartbreaking because it was like watching a younger version of myself navigate the same struggles. I spent a lot of the time internally screaming for her to stand up for herself, and her struggling to do so because of anxiety was so raw. This book really hit so close to home, and I will really feel the weight of this story for a long time.This whole book was such a raw representation of relationship abuse, gaslighting, anxiety, self worth struggles, ADHD representation, dyslexia, and dyscalculia.It was uplifting to watch these two navigate their pain together throughout the story and grow closer. 💕🥺

This is my favorite book this year!!! RATING IS infinity ♾️/5
Right from 8% into the arc copy I was screaming, kicking my feet, and giggling like a school girl. This book gave me so many emotions, and held my heart the whole way through. I loved watching this dynamic play out between Ryan and Willow. Ryan being obsessed with this woman and convinced right from the jump that he should be hers was my favourite he falls first. It pulled me in so hard, and kept me in the story.I have never felt so seen and in love with a book in my entire life. Ryan is not book boyfriend material, he is book husband material. My psychology brain loved this book reading the dialogue of his program was like it was taken right from couples therapy, and will help woman all over the world feel seen. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Maggie for sharing this masterpiece with the world. This book will live in my heart long after I am gone.I love the banter and dialogue with these two, and the emotional depth this story entailed. Having to go through a grief journey together made this story even more raw.The third act-breakup is so well executed. It hurt, but I felt every thing Willow and Ryan felt. I loved it. 🥹Tropes
